Summary
Machine-generated summaryTransport for Wales (TfW) intends to procure a single, integrated security service covering stations, depots and on-train operations across the TfW rail network. The service combines planned and reactive security activity, delivered through a flexible, risk-based and intelligence-led deployment model. It will support TfW operational teams and help protect passengers, employees and the wider travelling public. The contract allows TfW to increase or vary service requirements during the contract term in response to operational needs, changes in demand and emerging security requirements across the network. Revenue protection and event security fall outside the scope; event security will be procured separately, together with crowd management services.
